Sucks to hear about secure boot and the color models - hopefully someone's able to find a way around that eventually

One of the main reasons many people purchased a Kobo was to run quill. Those morons just cut off that market segment. A small segment, I know, but still a segment they just amputated.

Yeah, I was very excited after I heard they could run basically anything you put on the internal SD. It's hardware 'made' for Linux without the extra price bc nobody outside the tech bubble cares.
